Oh fuck I managed to put that way out of my mind, and had forgotten about it all these years. People did that when I was a kid all the time, especially in situations where eye contact was even more uncomfortable than usual. I've not experienced that since then though, so I have no idea how I'd deal with it now.

Maybe that's why I had the clap emoji thing so much. I try to read things as if I'm the person trying to write that thing out, so when I see those claps all I hear in my head is just someone shouting or someone literally clapping to get my attention, or doing that pretentious pause thing that people do when they think you're an idiot and are speaking with a pause to emphasize how stupid they think you are.

There's really no positive way to interpret that style of using the clap emoji. None.

My manager still does this to me at work. When I am looking up information for customers or in the middle of helping someone she just starts barking orders and just says my name over and over, "DJ... DJ did you hear me DJ."

I feel hairs crawl up my spine and I want to just snap at her and ask her if it looks like I'm just standing there with my dick in my hand. I heard you the first fucking time whether or not you choose to acknowledged the fact I am with customers or doing my job.

We were together for two years and I thought things were good. I mean they were rocky at but we fought for it. We had a big make or break fight and we came out together. A month later she proposed to me. I'd never been proposed to and was crying and speechless. I suggested moving in together. Well we weren't even there for a month and she sits me down to have a chat and breaks off the engagement. Day after Thanksgiving (week latet) ends the relationship. All calm and quiet. Two days after she becomes violent and attacks me at every turn. I had no where to go and had to live there for months to figure out living situation. After that though I don't know of I even want to date again. Tired of putting my heart on the line. Don't even know why shot fell apart like that. Everything seemed fine up to the moment.

As an automotive tech this makes me beat my head in. Yea, its a blow out, but the guy made one mistake on his call outs... green caps on valve stems have nothing to do with where you bought the tires at. It's how you tell if you have nitrogen in the tires instead of just compressed air.

I run my own little ten man server for my close friends to play on. Most of them are highly inexperienced and struggle simply with traversing the land without dying. One of my friends is very experienced and the two of us take sort of a caregiver role with the others. Spending our time hauling resources and taming dinos as to teach them how to survive. We decided to bump over to Scorched Earth yesterday as they were looking for more of a challenge. Knowing resources are scarce and the land is hostile I was curious to see it play out.

We brought our flyers with us so we could make the journey to a safe place and set up the newbies. After roughly an hour of nothing but death by loss of flyer stamina I think some of them may be very frustrated.

We had excited them at the idea of taming Wyverns, but now we aren't too sure on how possible that is going to even be. I'm staying optimistic to keep moral up since the map is already difficult. However, I'm starting to hate the fact I can't roam the skies for hours just viewing things at a fast pace.

As per resources they seem to be doing well since most aren't even a level 20. As for the two experienced ones, we are feeling the hate for our inability to swoop in kill mobs, grab the metal and get out. This is starting to become one of a hassle then I first thought it was going to be.

I do like the idea of having a mobile foundry as that would make things so much better for us. I also think having dinos peek in different areas would be an excellent addition to the game itself.

My biggest fear is that when they get to my level that the struggles I'm having are going to frustrate them to the point of no return. All I can really do is wait and hope that something broken this badly won't be covered up, but properly addressed.

Trans women = literally the absolute most oppressed human beings on the face of earth and if you don't agree you're Hitler and you're literally raping and killing them.

Trans men on the other hand, now magically have "male privilege"and have all of their previous experiences from when they presented as female (sorry if my terms are off, I'm not familiar with all of them) are erased and substituted into massive awesome privilege. If you don't dedicate all your time, energy, and money (that wage gap, yo) to being an ally to trans women you're literally Hitler and raping them.

It's really sad. A lot of trans men get shouted down and have absolutely no platform to speak. It is, in some cases obviously not all, bordering on the abusive. I'm sorry if you feel unwelcome or unwanted. You're not and you'll eventually find someone who is as into you as you are them 😊

It's so true it sucks. It's a big reason why it's hard to meet other transguys in person cause none of us are looking for judgment or for fighting a battle that isn't our own. Trans women hit magazine covers, movies, TV shows and day time crap all the time now which in its own right is awesome. However, the only time we ever get any kind of notice that was big was on Men's fitness magazine.

I try to be an advocate to those people around me at work and in my daily life who honestly have not a clue as to what it all means and I'm pretty open to answering most questions. I come here as a reminder of just what I'm fighting against. A real transman doesn't want all this bullshit you see these tumblr twats bitching about. Most of us just want to live our lives, get on T and be the men we fight to be.

I've been seeing a therapist for 5 years now and finally taking that big step to be on T. It's not something I wanna parade around or blog how superior I am. I hate all this cisgender crap. I just want to be a man and move on with my life. Too many times do I see that as a transguy the only time you get recognition is if your entire life is nothing but talking about being trans. I don't see why it has to be like that. It's fucking dumb. Give me a dick and take my tits away so I can get on with my life.

You are. There's quite a few trans issues I don't agree with,the gender identity thing grates on me tbh, but the fact of simple human dignity remains the same. You want to be referred as male? Ok. Because you are. It's no one else's decision how you present yourself and you identity is yours. Now if you want me to refer to you as a shape shifting, time traveling, lizard person from another planet.. I mean.. probably not. Bc those identities are bringing all trans people down.

I'm sorry for all the issues. I know a lot of you guys just suffer in silence and a lot of men would see that statement and say " welcome, brother" because men's rights have been eroded to the point where almost all men are shouted down. I'm sorry and I hope it gets better for you.

I tell my newer players right away I don't base experience off kills. Its a terrible way to do it because you could have a party of three people. Two may not be as effective in combat as the third and leave him to kill everything. In my opinion they would of learned 0 xp for that.

I track xp now by progression of my players' characters. The more they interact and work as a team to progress the story the further I will push their characters ahead. If you miss a session don't expect a smaller slice of xp, expect none. I'm here to tell a story not run your character.

I've also gone out of my way to avoid in fighting on who gets more xp and what have you by assigning xp before sessions and not really tell the players. I don't want them to focus on how soon till they level up. It should be at the back of your mind and not get in the way of playing.

Since switching over to this method I've never had a problem with players worrying about levels, combat, the amount of xp they get. Its solved tons of OOC bickering that just gets in the way of the fun. I wish I could convince some of my other groups to join in on the idea.

My friend who was learning to DM actually used this module. My character ended marrying one lady in the town who had a little boy. My charisma was pretty much perfect and I ended up convincing her to send her kid away to an orphanage.

I don't know if I can find it, but someone actually posted a census map where there were different dot colors for each ethnicity. I will add an edit when/if I find it. Was rather interesting to look at honestly.

So we had a bed bug problem not so long ago and the exterminator sprayed a chemical down. Now we haven't had any bites since he sprayed. We only found them in the box spring and quickly took it out of the house. It's been a few weeks since he came. Should I be worried that everything I hear about spraying is ineffective?
